Joy Of Healthcare

Today Jessie is joined by her good friend and colleague, Jodi Smith, the Regional Administrator of Hospital Operations and Post-Acute Care for Kaiser Permanente. Jodi is one of Kaiser’s greatest and brightest. She was Eric Coleman’s research assistant; he is the national leader and founder of much of today’s care transition work. She is a true thought leader, a Nurse Practitioner, and full of heart for the patients, members, and people Kaiser serves. In this episode, they discuss: What kind of help people actually need after they’ve been in the hospital. What value-based care means, and specifically what it means to patients in our healthcare system. And, how connecting people with one another is the true secret to reforming healthcare. We hope to leave you feeling connected with renewed ambition to support the people through their wellness / illness journey. Thanks for listening!
